A crushing but meaningless blow.

microwave pizza with fork & knife
this is the title of my new installation art piece. it consists of a white male, 24 years old, sitting at a cubicle desk, the titular meal in front of him. the viewer's perspective is actually physically changed by invasive surgical procedure to rotate outward in concentric ellipses at a rate of 180 degrees every 5 minutes to include in the field of vision a homeless man buying liquor at a Financial District store, business advisers making tapped cell phone calls on mp3 phones, a man dumping a body (female) on the banks of the East River, a Washington politician (male) receiving fellatio from a secretary (also male) underneath his desk, the re-nationalization of oil fields by the Bolivian president, an ice sheet the size of Rhode Island melting into the sea off the coast of Antarctica, the consulting firm of Hill & Knowlton advising the Chinese government how to image-manage the latest suppresion of rural villagers and the use of Google to monitor internet activity, the government of Chad expropriating oil profits to buy munitions, and a British model (female) snorting cocaine off the back of her hand in a restaurant bathroom. perspective concludes back at the start (point A) as the object white male thinks about playing guitar as his head fills with self-loathing.
